Bandai Namco had us at “Pokémon fighting game.” Spawned in Japanese arcades before making the jump to Wii U and Switch, Pokkén Tournament transforms those charming turn-based battles into a full-on fighting game. It’s a little free-roaming 3D, a little side-stepping 2D, and all excellent

The only downside is that the game does not include every single one of the hundreds of Pokémon. There are only 23 fighters in the Switch version, including two Pikachu and two Mewtwos. I’m still hoping the other hundreds will be added in future DLC.
